Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

Convenio sobre las vacaciones pagadas (revisado), 1970 (núm. 132) - Camerún (Ratificación : 1973)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to its comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 9 of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that section 99(2) of the Labour Code (now section 92(a) of the Labour Code of 1992) in some cases authorizes the accrual of leave only after a period not exceeding two years; and that section 1(3) of Decree No. 75-28 authorizes the postponement of leave for a similar period. The Committee pointed out that these provisions are not in conformity with the Convention, according to which a part of the holiday (a minimum of two weeks) should be granted and taken no later than one year from the end of the year in respect of which the holiday entitlement has arisen. In its latest report, the Government again states that measures to improve the legislative provisions referred to in the Committee's comments are under examination. It adds that the inspection services have made no observation on the application of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will provide full details of measures taken or proposed to bring the national legislation into conformity with the Convention.
